What size sgfc?
    #25115075 - 04/05/18 04:48 AM (6 years, 9 months ago)

Hi all, after a couple of years lurking and trying to pick my own mushies with not much luck, I decided to bite the bullet and grow my own :-) I have 6 half pint jars ready to be birthed in a couple of weeks. I have trawled the site looking for tub sizes but cant find an exact answer so i thought id ask. Im in uk so tub dimensions in inches would be good. What size tub for 6 half pint jars? Also the drilling holes do i measure and mark 2 inches exactly between each hole before drilling or after (what im trying to say is after holes are drilled is the gap supposed to be 2 inches exactly or less due to holes being included) i hope that makes sense lol. Also is the second row of holes directly above the first or placed inbetween? Sorry if im being to picky but i just want to get it right.

There's a tek somewhere.  A sterilite 28 qt will fit 6 cakes pretty good.  Use a ruler and Sharpie to draw a grid on your tub.  Lines every 2 inches.  Then drill where they cross.  A step bit works to make a clean hole.  Then use alcohol to clean off Sharpie when done.

For smaller grows I recommend the tek in the first link in my signature.

If and sgfc isn't packed with cakes it tends to dry out and require a lot of misting.

The tek in my sig shouldn't require as much attention
